How
to apply for a job: general considerations

Before applying for a job it might be a good idea to think about
the following points. The perfect job application very much depends
on where you want to apply. Take a few minutes and try to answer
the following questions:

Where do you want to apply?

What do you know about your potential future workplace?

Are you answering a job posting or are you writing a prospective
letter?

What do you expect of your future job?
Responsibilities, salary, team work,
Does the firm or the job posting give the impression that it answers
your expectations?

What are your strengths, what are your weaknesses regarding
your profession?

Remember: the recipient of your application does not know anything
about you except what you tell them. Try to present yourself as
completely, as concisely and well as possible.

Where to apply?

You will probably not find a high number of job postings whose
criteria you fulfil completely. The employer does not generally
expect to find someone who fulfills ALL of their criteria. However,
make sure that you answer at least 80 %.
